Jailbreak App for Zaaptv with MBC channels

I found this app for anyone who wants to jailbreak their Zaaptv receiver. There is also an app included in there that will get you back missing channels like MBC 1, MBC 2 MBC 3, MBC 4 and many more. If anyone has questions with the process of jailbreaking their Zaaptv, please post it here and I'll be glad to help.
How to Jailbreak your ZaapTV

#2 - After downloading the files you need to unzip the files and move tvstreamer.tar.var and the folder JB3ARABIC to your USB Stick.

#3 - Insert the USB Stick in the front USB Port of your ZaapTV then on your ZaapTV go to My Collection and press enter on your remote then browse to the USB Disk and press Enter then go the Jailbreak folder and press Enter.

#4 - To complete the process you need to Agree to the Terms and Conditions on the screen it is important that you understand that by you installing this Jailbreak you will lose your Warranty.

Thats it. Your done. Now go into My Collection and then select My Apps.
You will see all the MBC's and other missing channels under this folder.
This is confirmed working on my Zaaptv at home and the picture quality on the MBC channels was excellent!

Thanks for sharing the breakthrough in the zaaptv technology.I followed the instructions & it was pretty easy job.
To explain a point : The usb should be connected all the time to keep the zaap connected to the server.

The next step is more important : How to increase the number of channels? how to add more servers? where is the source to get more servers?

if anyone that did the jailbreak process successfully, shed some light on the issue about when pressing ok on the jb2arab folder no items found?

I just finished the process of jail breaking and it realy worked very well:
1) download the file to you own computer: Jailbreak 3_0Arabic.zip from link in this thread.
2) Unzip it using unzip or unrar.
3)A new folder will appear called JB3ARABIC and all files needed are in it.
4)copy all the files generated by the unzip process to a USB flash drive.
5) remove the usb from PC.
6) connect the usb to your Zaap box.
7) Go to My collections in your zaap.
8) go to browse usb.
9) click on JB3Arabic folder.
10) a file called jail break will appear...click on it.
11) accept the agreement.
12) your zaap tv will reboot and reload, and and the new channels will not show up in the All Channels but in a separate part of the menu, ( I forgot what it was; Look for a new item in the menu called jail break)
